| Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Thursday 25-Jul-13 07:00pm In honour of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, the Savonlinna Opera Festival is adding to its repertoire one of the best-loved and most frequently-performed operas of all time. For many an opera lover this will mean a long-cherished dream come true: La traviata at last in Savonlinna!
Can a flighty courtesan accustomed to a life of pleasure genuinely fall in love, and does she deserve true happiness? Verdi was clearly inspired by this tragic, beautiful love story about Violetta and Alfredo, built round these fundamental questions. The music of La traviata is some of his very finest: coloratura arias that bubble like champagne, and melodies that play exquisitely on the ear follow one upon the other like a row of sparkling gems, pampering the listener again and again. Paolo Olmi, Conductor Stefano Romano, Conductor Mariusz Treliński, Director Boris Kudlicka, Set Designer Venera Gimadieva, Soprano: Violetta Valéry Nadja Stefanoff, Mezzo-soprano: Flora Bervoix Maxim Axenov, Tenor: Alfredo Germont Andrzej Dobber, Baritone: Giorgio Germont Savonlinna Opera Festival Choir Savonlinna Opera Festival Orchestra | ||

Rosa by James Rolfe and Camyar Chai Isabelle has fled from her home and husband after the death of their child. Hector finds her in a brothel, where she has retreated in order to forget, and desperately urges her to return. Slip – excerpts by Juliet Palmer and Anna Chatterton Slip was created as a site-specific performance for the Harrison Baths, Toronto’s only public bathing complex. Connecting to homelessness, the piece also explores how we are bound together by the intimate experience of cleansing and our precious connection to water and how women experience interaction in intimate spaces. Cake by Monica Pearce. This twelve-minute comedic opera premiered in January 2012 at the Toy Piano Composers’ Opera Scenesters concert. A bride-to-be barely navigates her family’s relationships and expectations as she attempts to order the perfect cake for her wedding. The Bicycle Opera Project brings Canadian contemporary opera to communities across Ontario by bicycle! We bring Canadian music to people who might otherwise have little opportunity to hear it, and work to close the distance between audiences and opera singers through performance in intimate spaces. The project focuses on operatic repertoire that deals with contemporary issues relevant to all audiences. Our scenes are sung in English (with one in French) so that audiences can more readily relate to the material. Featuring Larissa Koniuk, soprano, Michelle Simmons, mezzo, Geoffrey Sirret, Baritione, Will Reid, Tenor, Wesley Shen, Music Director, piano, Katherine Watson, flute & Leslie Ting, violin. Michael Mori, Stage Director, Alex Samaras, Associate Producer, & Composer in Residence Adam Scime. In July 2013, we will be cycling west of Toronto to Hamilton, Elora, Fergus, Kitchener, Waterloo, Bayfield, London and Stratford! Demythologizing the idea of “the opera singer” (we get dirty too!) and operatic traditions (who says we can’t cycle?), and providing a car-free alternative to touring.

Little Miss All Canadian by Lemit Beecher and Liza Balkan A miniature opera that was written at this year’s Composer-Librettist Laboratory (LibLab) at Tapestry. Two mothers hilariously coach their daughters from the sidelines of a beauty pageant while they discover a disturbing article in the paper: an eleven-year-old girl’s dismembered body parts have been discovered in a park. The Enslavement and Liberation of Oksana G.by Aaron Gervais and Colleen Murphy This scene served as the genesis for the larger work but does not exist in the full-scale opera. A woman from Eastern Europe had been forced into prostitution, but manages to escape to Italy. She finds herself at a safe house run by a priest and has begun the process of recovery. One night, she enters the priest's room to look out the window at the moon. He wakes up and they begin discussing her situation, the possibility of returning home, and their relationship. Trahisons liquides - excerpt by Stacey Brown & Sébastien Harrisson Set on the Hibernia oil platform located off the east coast of Newfoundland, Pierre, a neurologist is conducting research on the reactions of the human brain under water. Nora, a deep-sea welder, is one of Pierre’s research subjects and the two become romantically involved. Nora encounters the spirit of a long dead pilot, who mistakes her for her past lover, and Pierre manipulates his authority to keep Nora close. The Bicycle Opera Project brings Canadian contemporary opera to communities across Ontario by bicycle! We bring Canadian music to people who might otherwise have little opportunity to hear it, and work to close the distance between audiences and opera singers through performance in intimate spaces.

Our scenes are sung in English (with one in French) so that audiences can more readily relate to the material. Featuring Larissa Koniuk, soprano, Michelle Simmons, mezzo, Geoffrey Sirret, Baritione, Will Reid, Tenor, Wesley Shen, Music Director, piano, Katherine Watson, flute & Leslie Ting, violin. Michael Mori, Stage Director, Alex Samaras, Associate Producer, & Composer in Residence Adam Scime. In July 2013, we will be cycling west of Toronto to Hamilton, Elora, Fergus, Kitchener, Waterloo, Bayfield, London and Stratford! Demythologizing the idea of “the opera singer” (we get dirty too!) and operatic traditions (who says we can’t cycle?), and providing a car-free alternative to touring.

| Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Friday 26-Jul-13 07:00pm The masterly music composed by Giuseppe Verdi for Shakespeare’s powerful drama, combined with the highly-acclaimed direction of Ralf Långbacka and the costumes and stage designs of Anneli Qveflander together create one of the most successful productions in the history of the Savonlinna Opera Festival. This Macbeth has also been frequently seen on other stages, both in guest performances by the Savonlinna Opera Festival and in rental productions.When lust for power spurs husband and wife to ever more dastardly deeds, an honourable nobleman and first-rate soldier can turn into a human monster who, to be on the safe side, stops at nothing to liquidate any who stand in his way, both friend and foe. This perspective, highlighted in Långbacka’s vision, makes the Savonlinna Macbeth a more human and more “ordinary” character than the one presented in many other productions. And hence so credible and moving.

| St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Stratford, ON, 25 St Andrew Street, Ontario, Stratford N5A 1A2, Canada Friday 26-Jul-13 07:00pm Vienna Boys Choir: Welcome to Vienna The young singers greet their Stratford audiences with a program that includes the very songs which we would hear if we could get tickets to their constantly sold-out appearances in the Austrian capital. With a repertoire that stretches back centuries, yet is as fresh as modern young people would wish, this concert presents an introduction to some of the world’s greatest musical treasures, all interpreted by the world’s most sought-after youth chorus. The Vienna Boys Choir proves time and time again just how exciting choral singing can be. And now the Choir - which is arguably the oldest Boy Band in the world - invites you to join them at Stratford Summer Music to hear their very latest repertoire, from motets to World Music and pop. In 1498, when Maximilian I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, moved his court to Vienna and ordered that there should be six boy choristers among his court musicians, it laid the foundation for the Vienna Boys Choir. Today, 515 years later, the Vienna Boys Choir still continues the tradition of the Imperial Court's young choristers with its four constituent choirs named for four Austrian composers personally associated with the VBC: Bruckner, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. In Vienna, you can hear them each Sunday. But this summer it's only at Stratford Summer Music where you can hear the senior chorus, named for Franz Schubert who was himself a Vienna Boys Choir chorister in 1808, and who, as a boy, was tutored in Vienna by Antonio Salieri, that figure whom stage and movie history has come to label as the nemesis of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Schubert Choir has 26 boys who have spent the previous season attending school, taking turns with the other VBC choirs at performing Sunday Mass at the Imperial Chapel and singing at Vienna's famous concert hall, the Musikverein. This choir's members come from Austria, Bosnia, England, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Romania and Russia. This year's VBC highlights have included the traditional anniversary concert of the Chapel Imperial, a performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, and the New Year's Day Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic which was broadcast around the world. These boys are touring until July 9, after which they will fly to Canada for their exclusive Stratford Summer Music appearances. | ||
